Snow Patrol at Rockhal

Arena-sized anthems have taken Snow Patrol to commercial heights scarcely imaginable when they were indie-pop nobodies on Jeepster Records, lost in Belle and Sebastian's shadow years back. In the meantime, the Glaswegian guys surrounding frontman Gary Lightbody have become a huge worldwide chart-topping-phenomenon. They’ve been on the brink of splitting up in 2004… then the single Run from their album Final Straw got airplay, the band rose like a phoenix from the ashes and toured across the world with U2. Open Your Eyes, Chasing Cars, Shut Your Eyes, Take Back The City, Crack The Shutters, You’re All I Have,… the list of hits and platinum multi-million-selling singles is sheer endless. With their songs full of emotion, Snow Patrol has become one of the most successful British rock acts of the last decade.
